A 'showy' crime story

First Act. On February 26, the mayor of the municipality of San Pedro in (Nuevo León, México. The richest city in Latinamerica), Miguel Treviño, told the media that it was likely that in the following days a "showy" violent event would occur in the town.

Second Act. 17 days after Treviño's statements, in the morning, the strongest opposition candidate, Mauricio Fernández (former mayor of San Pedro on several occasions), appeared in an interview on Multimedios Televisión, where he criticized the management of security in the municipality .

Third Act. Two bodies appeared inside a vehicle in one of the most crowded and 'showy' places in the municipality, the Rufino Tamayo Park.





The bodies appeared in the afternoon, before 7:00 p.m. The first reports indicated that the bodies allegedly had traces of violence, and their faces were covered with plastic bags, and they also presented a certain degree of decomposition.

The next day, it was learned that the bodies of the two men belonged to two men who days before had been 'picked up' (kidnapped) in the municipality of Guadalupe, both had criminal records and there was a search report for them, not for their crimes, but for being missing.


They were the two men whose bodies
appeared inside a car in Rufino Tamayo Park

Fourth Act. At night, Treviño appeared in an interview on the Bird Man newscast, better known as Architect Benavides. At some point it became a kind of 'deferred confrontation' by showing the mayor and candidate, fragments of the statements that Fernández had made at the same half hours before.

Cabeza de Vaca

Francisco Javier García Cabeza de Vaca is a mexican governor of the Tamaulipas state, he is better known as Cabeza de Vaca; his last surname. He faces a judicial process, because the Fiscalía General de la República (FGR), which is the major attorney organism in Mexico, denounced him for money laundering, operations with resources of illicit origin and organized crime. But, the trial has been like a wheel of fortune; it means, while the FGR is looking for the outrage of his charge as Tamaulipas’s governor; Cabeza de Vaca has played his game . In the first movement, the FGR wants the outrage, because if it doesn’t happen, the trial is going to end in the Tamaulipas’s court; and it means the dead of the trial and a triumph for Cabeza de Vaca. So, that’s the reason why the FGR is looking for to bring the case to the federal courts, where have a wide room for maneuver.

Second Chapter: The Vandalism

The saturday 9th of april, in San Pedro, Nuevo León, MX early in the morning, in the streets of the city some walls appeared vandalized with texts about of a supposed criminal gang. But, from the beginning the situation looked strange, because that is not the habitual form a criminal gang works. Those texts said: CDN, C. D. N and Aquí andamos (We are here). The abbreviations CDN is a referencia of the Cártel del Noreste, a criminal gang that works in the mexican northeast. But, today, El Norte newspaper published an article about the case: The official report concludes that the vandalized houses and cars it was not a criminal gang action; and informed the investigation continues. As will be remembered, is an electoral year in Nuevo León, and San Pedro is one of the most important cities in the country.
